Truth or Dare?
Truth: I really struggled this
week with food. There was Easter candy all over my house and soda.
Soda is like a drug!!! Just one sip and I can’t get enough of it. I didn’t eat
too crazy on Easter but I ate a little bit of a lot of bad things. I was okay
with that. But, when Monday came around I had a really hard time getting back on
the wagon. The wagon just kept passing me by.
By the time Monday evening came around I had some serious guilt. I had nightmares
that night about food. I just couldn’t stop eating. I woke up
on Tuesday morning really discouraged. I text Hope and told her I fell off the
wagon. She of courage encouraged me and I decided to forgive myself and move
on. Last year I lost and gained 30 pounds 3 times. I think my main problem is
that when I mess up I give up. I’m not going to let that happen this time. This
is not about perfection. It’s a process. It’s about doing the
best I can and moving on when I make mistakes. So, the truth
is that I really struggle with making good food choices. I really like to eat.
On a brighter note I worked out so hard this week. I
am feeling so strong. I ran a mile without stopping on the
treadmill every day this week at the end of my workout. I consistently make it
to the gym and really get my cardio in. I have been walking a 2.5 mile loop
near my home with my kiddos every day too. Truth is, I am great at
exercise.
Dare: (to myself and you too) I dare you to do better. To make
better choices and thereby really make your dreams come true. Don’t be afraid
of failure. Laugh at it! Kick through that brick wall. Be the strong woman that
Heavenly Father created. Believe in yourself. Amaze yourself with the things
that you can accomplish if you really put your mind to it. You are worth it!!!
So,
after all that I am so happy and humbled to tell you that I
Lost
1 pound this week
For
a total of 19.5
pounds
I know it’s not a lot, but I’m down. I am motivated
to do better, to do more, and to work harder. I am doing this! I am not giving
up!
